Anna's win in the DIY category is a testament to her dedication and hard work in creating high-quality, engaging content for her audience.
"Winning the Ambie award in the DIY category is a huge honor for me," said Anna DeShawn. "There is a lot of Indie's out here making amazing content that people cannot find. I'm really grateful to tell the stories of queer folks and black and brown queer folks because as our representation continues to increase, so does the anti-LGBTQ Trans legislation and hate.
